AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I am walking through whatever life is bringing to me. But still, I am unable to find or understand the Purpose, the Goal, or the True Aim of my life. I keep offering all of this to The Mother, yet I wonder whether I am so unconscious, so ignorant, carrying so many impurities and tendencies that are far from the Divine? 🙄🌻🦋[…]

I deeply wish to find the Purpose of my life. I feel that the aim is She, the goal is She, all is She, and still not only the joy and love I experience I offer at Her Lotus Feet, but even the garbage within me, I offer it all at Her Feet. And sometimes, I feel guilty of it.

And then these questions come up which disturb the quietness, the calm I feel sometimes…..”If all is truly She, then why do these movements of insecurity, falsehood, greed, and attachment to material things still exist within me?”And even after all these reflections, the question remains unanswered: ‘What is the true purpose of my life?’

It is because we are not made up of one piece. There are different parts in us, some open to Her, others half open, yet others waiting for their moment of opening and those that resist the opening. Everyone faces these resistances and insincerities. One need not be troubled by them but calmly keep offering them, steadily will for their removal, try to refuse and push them out when they arise and, continue increasing the aspiration and nourishing and strengthening the parts that you feel in the quiet moments. Continue to aspire with faith and confidence in Her Grace and eventually even the toughest resistances will melt away. Persevere with faith and the path and the goal will grow clearer and nearer. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Daytime, when I am engaged in some work, I do it with dedication and surrender to the mother. Yet night time I can not resist myself about thinking a lot. How to train mind to remain calm and content? My service-related benefits are due for over 4 years.🌙🧘🕯️🙏🏻[…]

Night is always a difficult time as the forces of darkness are at an ascendence. But with persistence in remembrance of the Divine as well as forming some good habits like reading Savitri or hearing something nice and peaceful one can enter a quiet and relaxed inner state before sleep. Chanting a mantra when these thoughts assail and offering them or simply being an indifferent witness will also be helpful….

Today I had a vivid dream where I was sitting with my late grandfather, offering to read to him from Savitri. In life, our bond was anchored in deep spiritual sharing, and just before his passing, he had instinctively offered his pranam upon seeing a photograph of Sri Aurobindo.🌙📖🕊️🙏🏻[…]

How long was this, that is, when did your grandfather pass away? I was wondering if there was an actual contact with him in the dream. It seems likely. In any case it is a most beautiful dream, possibly a dream vision.

But how long will she be in this Coma stage? Her body’s some part is working and some not…Means what we heard: some percent of her brain is working…. 🕯️🤲🌸🙏🏻

Surely she can pull through the Coma. But it is difficult to predict. Ultimately it depends upon what her soul choses. And the choice of the soul is not based on the attachments in the world. The soul is not attached to anyone in its journey through lives. Its only attachment is to the Divine Truth. Its only concern is about the progress it can make in its life. If there is still the possibility of some progress in this body then it may return. If not then it may make a different choice.
